It begins as ostensibly a ComingOfAgeStory set in a military academy for young Austrian aristocrats, but blossoms into a dark and [[ValuesResonance at the time quite shocking]] exploration of morality . Törless is a homesick, intellectual young student attending boarding school in 19th century Austria. While he ponders mathematics and the nature of existence, two of his classmates, Beineberg and Reiting, set about the blackmail of another student, Basini, caught stealing money from them. And, of course, thieves must be punished, so Beineberg and Reiting set about doing so themselves. Their sadistic punishments grow in intensity, and soon the sadistic sexual undertones blossom into [[RapeAsDrama full-out text]], events to which Torless is a creepily passive observer.
